With the resignation of Alex Campbell, the Crescent City Council is seeking a fifth member to fill that vacancy.

From a Crescent City news release Thursday:

Code § 349) and be 18 years of age or older, and a registered voter.

The City Council is comprised of a five-person board and is the sole legislative body of the City.  Crescent City is a general law city and adheres to a Council-Manager form of government.

Council Members are expected to make potentially significant time commitments to both learning the job of Council Member as well as regular attendance at Council meetings and various boards and commissions. Regular City Council meetings are held on the first and third Monday of each month via Zoom at 5:00 p.m., however, there are often special meetings and workshops scheduled.

If you are interested in applying for the position of Council Member, please complete an application and supplemental questionnaire which can be picked up at City Hall, 377 J Street, Crescent City, CA, or downloaded here: 2021 Application for City Council.pdf .
